[Launchpad Bug Tracker <803513@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package lightdm - 0.9.5-0ubuntu1

---------------
lightdm (0.9.5-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Update upstart job to use current start condition lifted from gdm,
    and to check runlevels instead of /proc/cmdline so it's possible to
    start lightdm after switching out of recovery mode.  LP: #803513.

  [ Didier Roche ]
  * debian/patches/01_transition_gnome_ubuntu_desktop.patch:
    natty-oneiric session name upgrade:
    - transition from unity-2d -> ubuntu-2d
    - transition from gnome-2d -> gnome-fallback

  [ Robert Ancell ]
  * New upstream release:
   [0.9.5]
    - Use accounts service in the daemon if it is available
    - Correctly load seat type in multi seat configuration
    - Add display-setup, session-setup and session-cleanup scripting hooks
    - Fix cancel button in GTK greeter (LP: #819240)
    - Fix line through GTK greeter menu items
    - Exit daemon if a seat fails which has exit-on-failure set to true
    - Add HasGuestAccount property to seat D-Bus interface (LP: #835084)
    - Fix XDMCP authorization
    - Update man file
    - Emit upstart events (LP: #715094)
   [0.9.4]
    - lightdm-set-defaults enables tweaking the default session and chosen
      greeter for lightdm. This is useful for derivatives waiting to not ship
      the whole configuration file of lightdm
    - Fix crash in GTK+ greeter when a user is added
    - Move xsessions-directory and xgreeters-directory from [SeatDefaults] to
      [LightDM].  This is a configuration break, but making it on the assumption
      that these settings are not likely to have been overridden.
    - Fix fallback from org.freedesktop.Accounts to passwd format
    - Fix duplicate user entries being shown when using passwd file
    - Add AddSeat D-Bus method for adding dynamic seats
    - Added a dm-tool program that allows user switching and adding seats
    - Allow remote X servers, e.g. launched using dm-tool add-nested-seat
    - Fix bug where sessions were started when the greeter quit and the user
      hadn't been authorized.
    - Fix bug where sessions used the seat bus name
    - Don't allow autologin-username to be set to empty
    - Fix bug where PAM session was not opened before writing to home directory
    - Fix crash when failing to write X authority

Title:
  lightdm uses old upstart job config file

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  File /etc/init/lightdm.conf is based upon a very old gdm.conf and thus
  needs to be updated since the "start on" and "emits" stanzas are not
  correct.

  The key changes required -- taken from latest gdm.conf -- are:

  
  start on ((filesystem
              and (runlevel [!06]
              and (started dbus
              and (drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1
              or  (graphics-device-added PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1
              or   stopped udevtrigger)))))
              or  runlevel PREVLEVEL=S)

  stop on runlevel [016]

  emits login-session-start
  emits desktop-session-start

  It should be possible to simplify the rather scary "start on" once we
  introduce the abstract events. Also note that if lightm has config
  files similar to other DMs, ideally it will emit the two events above.
  See bug 715093 and upstart-events(7).
